Abstract

The study aimed at some biochemical changes (proteins and electrolytes) and blood changes in calves with diarrhea. The study included (110) calves of the local breed, of both sexes, from different areas of the city of Tikrit, with ages ranging between (1-8) months. The study included two groups, the first group (the group with diarrhea, 100 calves), and the second group (the group Control: 10 healthy calves, and all study animals were subjected to clinical examinations. 110 fecal and blood samples were collected from the calves (100 samples with diarrhea and 10 healthy samples were considered as a control group) and for the period from the beginning of October 2022 until the end of July 2023, the blood samples were drawn. From the jugular vein and placed in test tubes or without anticoagulant (EDTA), it was placed in a centrifuge to obtain blood serum and kept at -20°C until biochemical tests were performed on it using a commercial kit prepared for this purpose. Results of biochemical tests accompanying cases of diarrhea in calves. The study noted a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the rates of sodium ions, bicarbonate, total protein, and albumin, and a significant increase (P<0.05) in the value of the rising gap rate. As for blood count values in animals suffering from diarrhea, the study noted a significant increase (P<0.05) in the values of the total number of red blood cells, hemoglobin concentration, and the size of packed blood cells, while we did not notice any significant differences (P<0.05) in the concentrations of each of the following: The average corpuscular volume, the corpuscular hemoglobin rate, and the corpuscular hemoglobin concentration rate.
